Docbop Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 What a loss such a great singer. Growing up in L.A. I remember seeing the Ike and Tina Turner Review van around town outside of clubs and such. Thank you Tina for giving us the best. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chummy Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 RIP Turner, what a soulful voice. Crazy thing I clicked on her Wikipedia entry and it did not denote her death . I refreshed the page and immediately the information was updated. These guys are fast.

zephonic Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 This was my introduction to Tina Turner back when I was a wee one. For years I believed this to be her song, not knowing Al Green, and there's still something about the sound of her version that I miss in the original. And that synth solo! She was royalty back in the 80's, kind of lost track of her after that. R.I.P.

Dave Bryce Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I got to see her open for Elton John in Las Vegas December 30th, 1999. Until then, I had never seen an "opening act" outperform the "headliner". Man, she was awesome. 🥰 dB 5 Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Grace Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Tina Turner was powerful and unforgettable in many ways. Her voice, her stage presence, and her story of overcoming adversity were compelling and inspiring. Back when I used to gig in clubs, I was in a cover band that performed a regular tribute to Tina Turner; so her songs have extra meaning to me. I'm very sad to hear this news! RIP, Tina Turner.

linwood Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I saw her in 1970 with Ike and Springsteen opened. Tix @ $5. Both of those folks leave it all on the stage every night. She was something to witness. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan May Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Tina Turner did a lot for music back in the sixties continuing well into the eighties. Her cover of Proud Mary is classic, though I also loved Typical Male and Private Dancer. RIP Tina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old No7 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Sad to see her go... RIP Tina. Even sadder will be to see a movie about her, a few years from now, which will share details of her personal life we may not know... (Or want to know ever...) This isn't a knock against her, it's just after seeing "Cash" (Johnny Cash), "Rocket Man" (Elton John), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Freddie Mercury), "Respect" (Aretha Franklin) and "Elvis" (well, duh!); it's disheartening to see all the personal struggles they all went through glamorized on the big screen. It makes my old UMass band mates say to me on more than one occasion, "Gee, aren't you glad we didn't make it big?!"

Old No7 There is one old Tina Turner story I was told by a bass player who was in Ike and Tina band. He's still around in one of the BIG Rock acts that is still going strong. So be interesting to know if it was just an old road dog musician story or there was some truth to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason88 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 RIP to a real legend. I've always loved her and was lucky enough to see her live in the 90s.

Moonglow Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I’ve always been partial to female lead singers, having been in a band with one for over 40 years. Tina was always my favorite, and my wife got me (us) a pair of tickets to see her live about 20 years ago for a birthday present. Man, did she ever bring it. RIP Tina. 1 Quote "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." - George Bernard Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawai James Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 RIP Tina, "the hardest working woman in show business". This is one of my favourite live performances of all time - her energy is through the roof! It's up there with James Brown's TAMI show performance the previous year. 1 Quote Employed by Kawai Japan, however the opinions I express are my own. Nord Electro 3 & occasional rare groove player.

linwood Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 James Brown was killin'! He was my first concert. James Brown in 1967. Imagine that. Playing the B3 with go go girls in cages before he came out front, the cape when he walked off. Man oh man...surprised my parents let me go. They had to drop me off there. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyRude Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 6 hours ago, TommyRude said: This is one of my favorite Tina videos for all kinds of reasons. Of course - Tina, who seemingly was at the height of her powers for a very long time, insane incredible energy and charisma. Ike is rockin' it as well, in the background throughout. A couple of deets; at 0:10, the mic stand drops. It does not phase her in the slightest - she keeps launching the dance steps, and then at around 0:19 she picks up the mic and proceeds to shred. I know this isn't really a big deal - happens all the time, but she just handles it with such MOJO! Her dancers - more insanity. So many great moves. In particular - at 0:54 they do this lean-back-hand-forward move that is the coolest thing ever. Reminds me of the San Francisco underground comics of the 60s. Anyone remember Zap Comics, R. Crumb, the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, more? The move they're doing shows up in these comics. One more item - they kinda flub it up a bit in this performance - but where Tina joins the dancers at 1:27. This is the dance that for some crazy reason became a thing in Australia. They do the Nutbush dance all over down under, young and old, in bars, at schools, events, it's a whole thing. No clue if they even connect the lyrical content of this song to the dancing they're doing.

Bill H. Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 As a wide-eyed country boy growing up, I would comb the jukebox cutout bins (10c each) looking for 45s like this - which would change my life. When I moved to Seattle, the first band I joined was a soul band - where somehow the guys allowed a white college student in playing organ. Last night I got emotional thinking about her - like another essential part of my childhood has passed. RIP Tina. You were loved and hugely influential on so many of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
